Applied Learning

Succeed with professional product management

Our award-winning advanced qualifications provide certification for product managers while contributing in a very practical way to the development of companies.

The role of product management is to optimise the performance of the product, or product line, across its lifecycle. Product managers typically work at the confluence of the business, the market and technology and make a vital contribution to the strategic and financial goals of the company.

The programmes are designed through a strategic partnership with the software sector to meet the needs of both experienced and aspiring product managers. The curriculum is laser focused on commercialisation to deliver real business impact, drawing on the latest advances in product management thinking.

Participants are equipped with new skills and tools to drive improved product management performance. Analysis and insights are translated into practical in-company results through a series of applied assignments. Essential research based frameworks enhance product management strategy and practice within participating companies to deliver a speedy return on investment.
